Why

If you don’t bother to take the time,
To express your thoughts in rhyme,
The chances are awfully good,
You’ve not thought as much as you should.
Rhymes are fun and set the stage right,
Like lovers undressing before a fight…

I mean, ouch

Today is a busy one in the news we see:

Tom Brady is not joining the AARP,

The Real Impeachment begins season two,

The Polar Vortex has come back for you.

And then there’s this, from the Kiwi nation –

An illegal porcupine imitation…!

What Really Sucks…

Not long ago there was a man who said

Be careful with canceling those who led

In ways considered disdainful to some

Because for sure one day the time will come

When men like Lincoln are cast to the dump!

It pains me to say that the man was Trump…

Bad Precedent

Yes, I’m now with Liz Cheney once again
Because I think it’s a bit uncool when
The party in power then in the House
Can ban an opponent, even a louse.
That said, the republicans have just failed…
They should have cleaned up, she should have been nailed.

Go WaPo!

With headlines normally pretty darn dry

WaPo has now set the bar very high!

Who would have thought this buttoned up paper

Could bust loose with this linguistic caper?!

And yes the GOP’s eyes must water

From this their party’s pungent new daughter.

Bye Pillow Guy

Of all the news outlets now on the air
Newsmax is the one that has the least care
For truth, decorum or getting it right
Which is what makes this segment such a sight!
The chaos and nonsense were so obscene
The anchor himself had to flee the scene…

Blue Deal

No doubt the reasons will be multi fold
But it’s a cool story which should be told.
All indicators of our fiscal health
Show democrats simply create more wealth.
When the Oval Office is decked in blue
The economy is better for you.

Elmer Fudd cries Loony Tunes

The thing about his leadership style

Is that it’s rooted squarely in guile.

No doubt he has a new scheme going on,

Even wrote a book about the long con.

So of course it’s great to take this plain stand

But for him it’s simply a card in hand.

Or both

Seems like these aren’t mutually exclusive

Even as the vaccine is elusive.

Some people will get it, others will not

As we all wait our turn for the next shot.

But those who get it should go out and spend!

Or else this pandemic will never end.

Populist Revolt

It seems to be happening everywhere

In stocks and politics it’s all laid bare.

Power is entrusted to the masses

Who proceed to act like horses’ asses.

I’d rather be ruled by the lame elite

Than crash with the populists in defeat.

C’mon Shaman

Well that explains a lot we need to know

About why people decided to go.

Their president had called them to action,

And man that call got a lot of traction!

But one itsy detail remains unclear…

What exactly is with the fur, horns and spear?
